Stories of Transformative Leadership in Human Services:
Why the Glass is Always Full

By Steve Burghardt and Willie Tolliver

This latest book by LTG partners Steve Burghardt and Willie Tolliver speaks to human service professionals who want to recapture, renew, and recreate the commitment and passion that brought them to this heartfelt work.

Using in-depth case studies that make community building and organization theories come alive , the authors provide leadership lessons drawn from the lives of not only well-known executives but everyday people, including cooks, secretaries, and inventory specialists. Weaving these lessons into a framework of "lifework" that inspires the reader into re-committing to your highest intentions, their book brings alive how to handle tensions on the job, turn diversity into an asset, and motivate others without bonuses.

An overview of the key chapters of the book:

Part One: The Depletion of Value

Part Two: Creating Abundance

Part Three: A Leadership Model of Personal & Organizational Transformation

Part Four: Activities & Practices to Keep the Glass Full

By its completion, you will see how your active commitment to your lifelong learning is the key to creating a culture of openness and innovation in your organization...whether experienced executive or new, front-line hire.
